Start journey being enthusiastic about following chief (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
head into
'start journey' is the definition.
'head into' can be an answer for 'start' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'journey' bit.
'enthusiastic about following chief' is the wordplay.
'enthusiastic about' becomes 'into' (into can mean interested in or enthusiastic about).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'chief' becomes 'head' (synonyms).
'into' after 'head' is 'HEAD INTO'.
'being' acts as a link.
